When travelling I am always amazed at how so many retailers are 'allowed' to come out of their spaces and decorate and change the outside. Those of us who have been lucky enough to travel to Tokyo will know how incredibly illuminated the city is (as well as incredibly noisy). Sadly London lags behind in the illumination sense, possibly due to the local bureaucratic council having such a tight grip on what can and cannot be done to London buildings. While this does of course protect these buildings I do always feel that it also stifles a lot of creativity. Clearly retailers have to work around this and ways that they can change how a space looks is with the use of vinyl on the glass. Here, are images from London's Dover street market and the Comme De Garcon 'Black' campaign.
